Abstract	Cavity ring down polarimetry, for probing circular birefringence, has been developed by extending the well established technique of pulsed cvity ring down spectroscopy. The unique ability of ring cavities yo interrogate nonresonant optical activity in low pressure chiral vapors is demonstrated by extracting specific rotation parameters. The ability of the specific cavity ring down polarimetry, to support in different manner, clockwise and counterclockwise guided light, ascribe to the scheme the intrinsic characteristic of chirality. This modification increases the resolution of the measurements and accelerates the experimental procedure. Moreover, absorption cross section measurements of CO2 and ellipsometric measurements of fenchone thin films, are also presented, using the altered schemem of cavity ring down spectroscopy. Laboratory measurements of the absolute absorption cross section of CO2 at the temperatures 295 and 373 K have been made between 200-206 nm using cavity ring down spectroscopy. The present measurements should resolve a long stnading disrepancy between previously published data on this system. Ellipsometry is a powerful, multidisciplinary optical technique for the remote and nondestructive investigation of dielectric properties of thin films, with applications in fields ranging from microelectronics to molecular biology. Conventional ellipsometers make such accurate measurements between the millisecond to the second timescale. Therefore, ellipsometry has been limited to study slow or equilibrium processes at interfaces, and the initial and final conditions of a fast process. In this thesis, we demonstrate a pulsed-laser, optical-cavity-based technique which can amplify the magnitude of the ellipsometeric angles from between 2 and 5 orders of magnitude.
